"Developing Mindful Leaders"

As we begin 2012, I challenge you to become a mindful leader as well as develop other mindful leaders.

Polly LaBarre shares her tips for "Developing Mindful Leaders" on the Harvard Business Network. She shares Pamela Weiss' and Todd Pierce's pillars ("Personal Excellence Program") for unleashing human capability, resilience, compassion, and well-being:

  1. Developing people is a process — not an event.
  2. People don't grow from the neck up.
  3. Put mindfulness at the center (but don't call it that!).
  4. It's hard to grow alone.
  5. Everybody deserves to grow.

Read the article and tell us what you think. Do you agree with the pillars?
